I think we can safely link the Arakan Empire and the Magistrates into the ATL. If anything, the Arakan Empire is a blend of the Mughal, Mongol, and Inca Empires. The Magistrates were created as the means of the leadership imposing their rule over the people. I created both items in an effort to prevent the ATL from sounding too similar to modern European history.

They can also be both placed into the "Politics" section in the "First Great War (Factions)" portion. They can also be placed in the "Countries" section in the "Historical" portion. Any thoughts?

Well, I did put the Arakan Empire in the countries section, but for the Magistrates and it to be in the First Great War… not so much. Because the First Great War is from 1732 until 1766, and the events described in the articles were far too 'ancient'. Think of the First Great War as napoleonic/civil war-ish.
So, in the Arakan Empire's article, it's in lockdown while the First Great War rages.

Hmm, the Arakan could be the ancestor of the Jadzia country and neighbors. Jadzia will play a role in the Second Great War and the Third Great War, as a member of the Crescent Alliance in the second, and as a powerful neutral country which has strategic points that lure the battles to it…

It would certainly help if we had an area where the Jadzia are located. As for the First Great War, we can at least use it as one of the powers that participated in the First Great War, and collapsed as a result, much in the same way the Ottoman Empire and Austria Hungary disappeared after the First World War in OTL. For now we can keep the Magistrates separate if you wish. Other than that, I think we are making a very different world.

Well, I was planning on having Jadzia somewhere in the middle of Orintis, maybe somewhere near Tarisi. It'd be a desert region, while Cahuac is more jungle and farmland. Sina would be somewhat jungly, but more mountainous… Yeah, as I think of it, the Magistrates weren't a country per se, but a kind of clandestine-like grouping. Sorta like the Illuminati of OTL.
And of the Corporate Janissaries, they could be mercenaric in nature, not only protecting their corporations but also interfering with other corporations' operations… and some of them could have rebelled, like OTL Haiti for instance. I think corp janissarism could be implemented in countries with high oppression rates (like maybe Imperia) or highly xenophobic and elite culture (maybe Kotobuki and parts of Castelio, or its neighbors).

With Jadzia on Orintis, I was thinking the nation of Jahirimya can also be in the desert region of the continent. I am thinking that with the call for Arakan Unification, there is going to be a great temptation by the leaders of Heidlheim to use the same methods to spread propaganda, and maybe even ally themselves politically (e.g. "Pact of Steel", 1938).

With regards to the Magistrates, I definitely see them like the Illuminati. I also see them like the romanticized versions of the ninja, who often had super-powers attributed to them, based out of media interpretations…

In regards to the Corporate Janissaries, I canm see the socialist nations of Zenit, Zarya, Zabalaza, Dandhaka, Chung-kuo, et al. using the stories of the "corporate janissaries" as part of their propaganda campaigns. They will certainly hear about the "janissaries' rebellion" as being part of the "people's struggle"…

Hey Everybody!! I just added some items to make things interesting for people in the ATL. I even found a way to bring in an analogue to Gunkatta from Equilibrium ( see "Gundoh Bugei") the Cthulu Mythos (see "McCubbin's Theorems of Tesseract Space"). In terms of creatures, I have thrown in some freswater sharks and land coral. Any other requests for weird items?

I think we can safely post the page on "the Magistrates" on the site. If anything, it can be posted under the "The Great Clash" under the different factions, or along the lines of causes for the war. I'll be posting some history soon which will tell the history of the world prior to the wars soon. Admittedly, I will have some Filipino twists to the history.

One thing I have done is add the "Black Book" (a.k.a. the Tamworth Manifesto). If anything, you now have the three political philosophies that make up the basis of the three political blocs that make up the basis for the Second Great War. This allows the ability to start constructing the alliances and/or motivations for the war. I certainly hope this helps.

well, lemme get this straight: Blue Book is People Power, Red Book is Corporate Basis, and the Black Book is Anti-Imperialism, basically? And that'd be the Third Great War, not the Second.
Yeah, I think that'll work… here's a rough draft of the Third War blocs:
Blue: Zarya, Castelio, Zabalaza (tentative), New Almechia
Red: Chung Kuo, Tzabcan, Dandhaka (maybe?)
Black: Heidlheim, Imperia (maybe?), Syrus, Apokalips
Non-A: Samkhya, Thorllundt, Jamahiriya, Jadzia

And a tentative, partial timeline for the third war:
-Eisenpfeilen ousts corrupt Heidlheim govt. and rises to power
-Heidlheim breaks Forni treaty and invades Keldheim
-Heidlheim creates the Black Bloc with Imperia and Syrus, and other countries joining soon after
-Heidlheim declares war on Zarya, invades south Zarya
-Zarya defends more of its territory against Heidlheim
-meanwhile, Imperia attacks Chung Kuo's neighbors (Jadzia and Jamahiriya)
-Chung Kuo attacks Imperia pre-emptively
…and still blank on events afterwards. There will be nuclear explosions (but still torn on where)

Yes, I believe, I meant the Third War Blocs. It certainly looks good. If anything, I will throw in some minor rebellions/ general strikes that should make things more sold. Definitely post the "Corporate Janissaries". I want to design a rebellion of one group of janissaries rebel in a very violent fashion….

Based on the book World Set Free by H. G. Wells and the recent In At Death by Harry Turledove, I was thinking that the war eventually degrades as nuclear weapons are common, and destroy the political and military centers, but not the industrial centers of the various nations. This will cause the Black and the Blue Blocs the greatest political tension, and the potential of breaking the Red Bloc.

Yeah, Heidlheim will be using one against Zarya, or Heidlheim hardliners nuke Heidlheim themselves, but after the blasts settle down, it turns out Apokalips is the one behind it all. A last cry of the Magistrates, perhaps?

I definitely like that. If anything, we also have to find political and cultural reasons for why the wars in the ATL seem to last longer than in OTL. Consider that the U.S. has been involved in Iraq since 2003, and we can't wait to get out of that conflict. In Vietnam, the United States entered in 1964, but was out of the conflict in 1972. The situation should resemble 1984 by George Orwell in its persistance of political ideology…

Hmmm, maybe we'll need more small nation-states, to fill Surpica somewhat. Some more eastern asiatic stuff mayhaps. Also, we need more Europeanistic stuff to fill the neighbors of Heidlheim, Keldheim and Zarya.
I'll see if I can fill up some of the equipment and stuff.
Oh yeah, do those three countries still stand during the 3rd Great War?

I'll see what I can do in terms of European and East Asian countries. As for the existence of the nations, the nations are still in existence during the 3rd Great War. I'll see what I can do to insure that the ATL, has some unexpected twists.
